Year one sells a gasket for the outer trim ring to the quarter panel to protect the paint.  As far as paint is concerned, My cap is a low gloss black and I like the trimbright aerosol paints that you can get a local auto parts stores.

should the gas cap flip open  when i open it. right now it does not open on its own,  being spring loaded i would think it should to make it flip open i might have to relign filer tube to go up a abut 1/4 inch more through hole in fender. i put an extra gasket on the inside of filer tube if i take that out that might be enough for the cap to flip open if it is supose to flip open  thanks  tom

Mine doesn't open fully on its own, it just "pops"the seal so I can open it.
